Philosophical Crossover
Hey gents, (😏Jonathan)
I was listening to another episode of my Philosophize This! Podcast, and today the growth of the branch of Philosophy known today as Ontology was explored, specifically through the lense of Martin Heideggar. Like many of you, I've heard Manu use this term a lot and while I've done a bit of independent reading on the subject to familiarize myself with the rough outline, I found this (like all the other episodes) to be a fun and memorable way to conceptualize it better.
Here's a couple paragraphs from the end that I've been reflecting on today:
"The state of the world is contingent upon the state of human thought that came before it. And, when you really consider that, again, think of how much changes about, for example, Nietzsche’s philosophy if he spends his entire career with the ontological outlook that we are agents of God’s will.
See, because Heidegger would point out that, whether you’re asking geological questions about rocky beings or anthropological questions about cultural beings or scientific questions about scientific beings, we’re all ultimately asking questions about beings. And that maybe if we took a closer look at these seemingly meaningless questions and we all understood what it means to be a human being a little bit better, maybe we’d better understand why we have these sorts of problems or even - whether they’re problems at all"
I've linked the episode if any of you are fellow commuters who are curious to give it a listen. You won't recognize the other internal references made but I don't think that diminishes its value.
